Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line the long sides and base of a 2lb loaf tin with double thickness baking parchment. Mix 2 tbsp each of the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a small bowl and set aside. Tip all the remaining ingredients into a large bowl with a good shake of salt and pepper and mix well - hands are the best for this job.
  2. Press the mixture into the loaf tin and sprinkle with the reserved crumb mix. Bake for 40-45 mins until the top is golden and crunchy. If the top does not colour in the oven, pop the tin under the grill and brown the top for 5 mins. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then lift out using the parchment and put on a board. Slice and serve with potatoes and green beans.

    This was really really lovely! Very easy to make and tasted gorgeous! My partner and 6 year old son loved it and had the leftovers the next day for their packed lunches. Will definitely make again.

    Great for a budget roast, I served this with roast potatoes, veg and gravy. We had the leftovers the next day (a busy work night) with good 'ol chips and beans. Simple but tasty.

    My first impression was that it didn't look very appetising but it was delicious. Full of flavour and so easy to make.

    This was lovely, I didn't have any pancetta so used chopped streaky bacon instead, every scrap was eaten by my tribe.

    Absolutely delicious! The only change I made was (as per Fiona above) to swap pancetta for streaky bacon. Very flavoursome and a lovely texture. The leftovers were fantastic the following day in a meatloaf sub with some melted mozzarella and homemade tomato sauce. Will most definitely be adding this to my weekday family meal repertoire.

    Beautiful - my husband and kids wolfed it. I made it with bacon and strong cheddar instead of Parmesan and pancetta. We had it for Sunday lunch as a roast and they raved about it.

    I made this last night for the family and it went down very well i know that cause my husband had seconds, i served it with roast potatoes and fresh veg, will be making it again soon. For such few ingredients it tastes great.

    Made this last night for the first time. Great recipe, very easy (kids would probably love to help). Very tasty and some left over to have cold today. Definitely do again.

    Really tasty, in fact probably the nicest meatloaf I've ever made. I made this into a medium sized meatloaf and 2 mini ones for lunch boxes, and I'm told it was as delicious cold, the next day. The only difference I made was to whizz parsley with the breadcrumbs and parmesan in the food processor. Definitely making again.....and again

    We had this for our evening meal last night - My husband and the baby 10 month - loved this. I can say this will feature in our household again. So simple, so delicious, so foolproof what more could you ask. Prepare, place in the oven, sit back while it cooks and then enjoy every forkfull.

    This was fabulous!! I added dried oregano, basil and thyme as I felt it didn't sound herby enough for us and used more that the recommended tomato puree as we are tomato lovers! I also made it a day before and left it in the fridge over night, adding the bread crumb mix before popping in the oven, not sure if that added anything! Left overs with pesto couscous was taken into work for lunch the next day!

    really nice, wondered how something with so few ingredients could be rated so high but it's really a good way of using up mince! used bacon instead of pancetta and a nice cheddar as not a parmesan fan. will make again.
